Pascal Bouchard Blanchot Chablis Grand Cru 2011

From half an acre of vines within the Blanchot Grand Cru, this is a smooth, rounded wine. It has weight from intensely ripe fruits, along with structure. Beautifully sun-exposed vineyards add a warmth to the wine, but there's also a mineral texture, nervy acidity and tart apple-skin and green-plum flavors. While concentrated, it's still a young wine, so drink from 2017. Special Designation: Best Buy. Score - 94. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 2013)
